Spoken by one who is unaware that the current trends are deflationary. It was deflation that drove the last depression, and it is pushing us towards another one.
Yes, O boy will push this country into a depression.
He and all Obamabots will mistakenly blame Bush.
It is Obamabots that are unaware of what terrible
trend they have set in motion by electing O boy.
I will be the first to admit that I'm no expert, but I found something interesting that suggests that Hillary cannot (right now) become SecState, and she is prohibited by the Constitution from becoming SecState...
Pete Williams of NBC raised the question on MSNBC this afternoon: Is Hillary Clinton barred by the Constitution from accepting the post of secretary of state?
Article One, Section Six of the U.S. Constitution says:
No Senator or Representative shall, during the Time for which he was elected, be appointed to any civil Office under the Authority of the United States which shall have been created, or the Emoluments whereof shall have been increased during such time; and no Person holding any Office under the United States, shall be a Member of either House during his Continuance in Office.
Essentially, you cannot take a job if the salary was increased during your current congressional term. And the salary for cabinet officials has gone up in the past year. Even if it is lowered back down, constitutional scholars say that may not be enough to fix the problem.
The question is whether this would be an issue at confirmation - if Clinton is nominated to the post - and who would raise it. Senators traditionally grant their colleagues some deference and it could be considered politics at its worst if Republicans try to block her nomination with this argument. But senators may be loathe to vote for something scholars tell them is unconstitutional.
So judging by that, she cant become SecState right now.
Your savior (O boy) is a fraud.
You think he will keep his promises of change - he will not.
You think he will extend hope across this land - he will not.
As I read it, mm, all it means is she can't be Senator and Secretary at the same time. All she has to do, if nominated for the SecState job, is resign from the Senate.

It turns out Biden was O boy's 1st choice for the job of SoS, not Hillary.
Mrs. Bill Clinton was never considered for VP and she did not top the list for SoS.
